C'mon, seriously now. No matter what you do, that spring will eventually need to be replaced. Does it really matter if that replacement comes in 10 years instead of 20? This sort of reminds me of Seinfeld episode where Elaine has to decide whether her lover is "sponge-worthy" or not. You've taken to trying to decide which self defense scenarios are "spring-worthy" or not.  |
S&W says to replace them in 5 years or 5000 rounds, but point taken. I guess in the back of my mind somewhere I'm thinking damaged spring equals light or no primer strike, which equals no fire, which equals injury (or worse) to me or my family. On the other hand, no round chambered and most likely not having time to chamber one could have the same end result.
